Digital Book Publishing Sheri S Hauser

This is a book on How to use the Lasertrain digital templates for publishing. The Glorybound Lasertrain was developed specifically for use with digital publication of books. All of the peripheral print sets came about as the advertising and merchandising of the company was created. Forms and inventory paperwork was generated using the same principles. What the Lasertrain utilizes is knowledge of software principles integrated with publishing then correlated with the laser printer to produce a specific result. They are like fast-food in that they are written in easy language which directs the individual from one screen of the computer or printer to the next. Originally the print sets were written to correlate with a specific printer, but they can be used with any printer (even an ink-jet) to produce similar results. The cost per copy is up to the user.
